Looking for a simple OpenGL (3.2+) Python example that uses GLFW [closed]

I am looking for a simple modern OpenGL (3.2+)example in Python.

I tried with GLUT and freeGLUT, but I am not able to get a 3.2 context on OS X (Mavericks). (This seems to be a known issue with GLUT/freeGLUT).

GLFW seems to be a modern lightweight alternative to GLUT, but it doesn't seem to have an official Python binding, and I could not find a simple example that uses 3.2 core profile features of OpenGL with GLFW and Python.

(I struggled with this problem, and so it could be useful for others, I am answering below as per SO guidelines.)

The code below uses PyOpenGL, PIL (for textures), numpy, GLFW and the corresponding Python binding cyglfw3.

Here is a screenshot of the output:

enter image description here

The main code is appended below. It uses some utility methods from a file called glutils.py (for loading texture, compiling shaders, etc.) which you can find here:

https://github.com/electronut/pp/tree/master/simplegl

Code listing follows:

out vec2 vTexCoord;

void main() {
